Kashmir situation

Pakistan and its community have been through some tough times in the recent few years and it has its fair share of troubles. Though many of its concerns are linked to India with its constant struggle to defame Pakistan and take a win over its long term geographical rival. But the Indians and their anti-Pakistan policies are not the only problem that our country faces. We have a few other pressing matters to address and the major theme of those topics are the known factor of the terrorists.

Nowadays, AL Qaeda have taken different claims to get the Kashmiris on their side and support their cause. Kashmir has been a long term standing point over which Pakistan and India have been fighting over. On the advent of Partition, Kashmir was made and integral part of Pakistan but the India government had some issues with the allocation and began to slowly infiltrate and take over the Pakistani controlled area through guerilla warfare and hostile activities. Even though Pakistan stopped them from advancing a few times, India have continued to overlook the treaty of peace and throw a series of attacks at the Pakistani side. The only people that are suffering are the citizens of the Kashmir area who are currently facing the brutalities of the Indian army. With the current count of deaths crossing over a 100 by the hands of the Indian army, the Kashmiris are desperate and many rebellions have started to arise.

AL Qaeda have taken this opportunity and have sent an open invitation to Pakistan against its policies on the people of Kashmir. They are stating that Pakistan at the moment are doing nothing about helping the people in Kashmir and are sitting there helpless. This is not at all true. For anyone smart enough, they would know that if Pakistan mounts any sort of attack, it is susceptible to return fire from India which will lead to an all-out war. Other than that, any sort of direct attack will be seen as a violation of the peace treaty which will actually cause Pakistan to lose its ties with the other nations.

The people of Kashmir are now caught in a dilemma. While on one side they are trying to gain sympathy from the world by publicly demanding freedom from the Indian oppression, they are not receiving any sort of justification by the powers and on the other side, they have the choice to either join hands with the AL Qaeda terrorists who are offering them aid or become insurgents themselves through which they can launch small strikes against the Indian oppression.

The news out right now states that AL Qaeda is sympathetic towards the people of Kashmir and are urging the Pakistan Armed forces to rake actions against India. Although they do not actually blame Pakistan for the failures in Kashmir, they have definitely taken a side with the Kashmiris. Logic would have us believe that they would never do this out of the kindness of their hearts but they must have some backhanded motive to do this. Ever since the operation of Zarb e Azab started, The Pakistani Army have wiped out most of the forces of the known terrorists most of which were belonging to AL Qaeda. According to inside reports, AL Qaeda is looking to recruit more members for furthering its cause. If this is the case, then the Kashmiris trapped in their current state will be the perfect targets to exploit. The question is that how will this affect the relationship between the Kashmiris and the Pakistani community. Although AL Qaeda is trying to drive a rift between them, India is seen as the wild card who can benefit from this. The number of Kashmiris who are fighting the Indian army will decrease and the number of members of AL Qaeda will also increase.

Now it is still left to see whether Pakistan Army will retaliate to this in a bad way or use this to their own advantage by allying themselves with the Kashmiris. May the powers be smart enough to actually figure out the plot of their enemies.
